That's when they came up with this year's theme, "American Made for Christmas." It fit perfectly with the grand marshal, Marine Cpl. Matt Bowman, and the feel of downtown Lafayette, Nelson said.

This year's parade, a Greater Lafayette tradition of more than five decades, will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday at 10th and Main streets. It will travel down Main, ending at Second Street at Riehle Plaza.

There will be fierce competition for prizes among the floats, Nelson said, producing a great show. Marching bands, including the Purdue University "All-American" Marching Band, and animal entries, including horses and even llamas, will also make their way along the route to kick off the holiday season and spread the cheer around town.

When: 2 p.m. Sunday

Where: Starting at 10th and Main streets and ending at Second Street at Riehle Plaza

How much: Free
